Wednesday Night Competition Information

Wednesday night is up and running! Team lists and the competition draw are on the website, so please have a look to see what team you are in and when your games are scheduled.

Flipperball: Flipperball is being run in the shallow end on a weekly basis from approximately 6:45-7:45pm.

If you have kids that are keen to learn how to play the game, but dont have the confidence of jumping straight into games in the deep end, then this is the perfect solution! In flipperball the kids learn basic water polo skills like; catching, passing & shooting. Flipperball kids will also have the opportunity to play a game in the deep end every 2-4 weeks, which will help build their confidence and continue their development in the game!


Remember: Volunteers are required on Wednesday Nights to ensure we can continue to run the competition successfully & efficiently, so please advise if you or someone in your family can help out throughout the season. Various tasks are required to be filled such as, running the BBQ, table duty, refereeing, coaching, setting up and packing up the pool and any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Every Wednesday night is a BBQ night! No need for you to organise the kids dinner, just grab a sausage sandwich and leave the cleaning up to us!!

$2.50 per sandwich is a cheap dinner!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT COMP SUMMER GRAND FINALS 2009/10

Blue Mountains Water Polo held their Grand Finals on Wednesday 31st March at Glenbrook Pool.  The night was cool, cloudy but did not rain.  The teams were there in full numbers prepared for a tight contest.
 
The Junior match began with the Larrikins leading out with 3 goals in the first quarter from Sophie Fisher, Jake Cooper and Nathan Reid. Hugo Leighton scored in the second quarter for Stingers to get them on the board and Sam Fisher and Jake Cooper each scored a goal for the Larrikins.  The Stingers held the Larrikins out of the scoring end with much improved defence in the third quarter with only Jake scoring again. The last quarter was tight with great defence from the Stingers but many unsuccessful attempts at goals.  Hugo Leighton scored again as well as Sam Fisher and Nathan Reid.  Final score was Larrikins 8 defeating Stingers 2.
 
Team Two 7 defeated a courageous but exhausted Team One 1 in the Seniors Grand Final match.  Ben Morgan was away at the Australian Country Championships and his team missed his expertise.  Team Two played a great match with goals scored by Chris Artini 3, Nathan Spriggs, Stuart Lane and Beth Salmon 2 with Daniel Sayer scoring one goal for the Team One.
 
All Blue Mountain Water Polo players are invited to our end of year party and Presentation Night to be held at Springwood Golf club on Friday 23rd April at 7pm.

Silver Medals to Blueys Ladies

Two Senior Blue Mountains Water Polo Ladies teams played their Grand Finals last Sunday at Ryde Pool. The Ladies 5th grade team were defeated by the Dolphins in extra time, and despite putting up a courageous effort, the Ladies 3rd grade team went down to a more experienced Drummoyne team.

Ladies 5th grade played against a very fast Dolphins team. In a close, exciting match, the teams went goal for goal, resulting in a 5 ALL draw after regular time. Following a questionable early exclusion of a Bluey's player early in the first period of extra time, the Dolphins scored the 'golden' goal only 42 seconds into extra time.
Final Result: Dolphins 6 Blueys 5. Blueys goals scored by Kerry Martin 2, Ashley Weston, Kristy Stanton and Emma Stanton.

The Ladies 3rd grade (L3B) team again played against their old time rivals, Drummoyne. After holding Drummoyne to a goal each after the first quarter, the Bluey's Ladies continued to put in a great effort, but were not able to match the experienced Drummoyne team for the full game.
Final Result: Drummoyne 7 Blueys 4. Blueys goals scored by Lorinda Gobbo 2, Jennifer Coogan and Claire Groves
